time  required  by  the  Postma^^ter  General  in  such  advertisement,  such 
person  or  persons  shall  forfeit  and  pay  so  much  money  as  shall  be  the 
difference  between  the  amount  contained  in  such  proposal  and  the 
amount  the  Postmaster  General  shall  have  to  pay  for  the  same  trans- 
portation of  the  mail  on  such  route  or  routes,  which  sum  may  be  re- 
covered by  the  Postmaster  General  in  an  action  on  the  case. 


Liabilities  of  giiarantors  of  bidders  who  fail  to  enter  into  contract. 

Sec.  27,  act  of  July  2,  1S36.  That  every  proposal  for  the  trans- 
portation of  the  mail  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  written  guaranty, 
signed  by  one  or  more  responsible  persons,  to  the  effect  that  he  or 
they  undertake  that  the  bidder  or  bidders  will,  if  his  or  their  bid  be 
accepted,  enter  into  an  obligation,  in  such  time  as  may  be  prescribed 
by  the  Postmaster  General,  with  good  and  sufficient  sureties,  to  per- 
form the  service  proposed.  No  proposal  shall  be  considered  unless 
accompanied  by  such  guaranty.  If,  after  acceptance  of  a  proposal, 
and  notification  thereof  to  the  bidder  or  bidders,  he  or  they  shall  fail 
to  ent(!r  into  an  obligntion  within  the  time  prescribed  by  the  Post- 
master General,  with  good  and  sufficient  sureties,  for  the  performance 
of  the  service,  then  the  Postmaster  General  shall  proceed  to  contract 
with  some  other  person  or  persons  for  the  performance  of  said  service, 
and  shall  forthwith  cause  the  difference  between  the  amount  con- 
tained in  the  proposal  so  guarantied  and  the  amount  for  which  he 
may  have  (contracted  for  the  performance  of  said  service,  for  the  whole 
period  of  the  proposal,  to  be  charged  up  against  the  said  bidder  or 
bidd(^rs  and  his  or  their  guarantor  or  guarantors,  and  the  same  may

of  the  said  persons.

EXTRACTS    FROM    LAWS. 


In  relation  to  combinations  among  Udders  to  prevent  lidding. 

Sec.  2S,  act  of  July  2,  1836.  That  no  contract  for  the  transporta- 
tion of  the  mail  shall  knowingly  be  made  by  the  Postmaster  General 
with  any  person  who  shall  have  entered  into  any  combination,  or  pro- 
posed to  enter  into  any  combination,  to  prevent  the  making  of  any 
bid  for  a  mail  contract  by  any  other  person  or  persons,  or  who  shall 
have  made  any  agreement,  or  shall  have  given  or  performed,  oi-  pro- 
mised to  give  or  perform,  any  consideration  whatever,  or  to  do,  or 
not  to  do,  anything  whatever,  in  order  ip  induce  any  other  person  or 
persons  not  to  bid  for  a  mail  contract.  And  if  any  person  so  oflend- 
ing  be  a  mail  contractor,  he  may  be  forthwith  dismissed  from  the 
service  of  the  department :  Provided,  That  whenever  the  Postmaster 
General  shall  exercise  the  power  conferred  on  him  by  this  section,  he 
shall  transmit  a  copy  or  statement  of  the  evidence  on  which  he  acts 
to  Congress  at  its  next  session. 


No   pay  to  be  made   until  contracts  are   executed;    nor  for    additional 
service,  unless  previously  ordered. 

Sec.  29,  act  of  July  2,  1S36.  That  no  person  whose  bid  for  the 
transportation  of  the  mail  may  be  accepted,  shall  receive  any  pay 
until  he  shall  have  executed  his  contract  according  to  law  and  the 
regulations  of  the  department ;  nor  shall  any  payment  be  made  for 
any  additional  regular  service  in  the  transportation  of  the  mail,  unless 
the  same  shall  have  been  rendered  in  obedience  to  a  prior  legal  order 
of  the  Postmaster  General. 


Requiring  service  to  be  let  to  the  lowest  bidder,   ^'c.   Sfc. 

Sec.  18,  act  of  March  3,  1845.  That  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
Postmaster  General,  in  all  future  lettings  of  contracts  for  the  trans- 
portation of  the  mail,  to  let  the  same,  in  every  case,  to  the  lowest 
bidder  tendering  sufficient  guaranties  for  faithful  performance,  with- 
out other  reference  to  the  mode  of  such  transportation  than  may  be 
necessary  to  provide  for  the  due  celerity,  certainty,  and  security  of 
such  transportation  ;  nor  shall  any  new  contractor  hereafter  be  re- 
quired to  purchase  out  or  to  take  at  a  valuation  the  stock  or  vehicle

EXTRACTS   FROM   LAWS. 


No  additional  allowance  unless  for  additional  service. 

Sec.  43,  act  of  March  3, 1825.  That  no  additional  allowance  shall 
be  made  by  the  Postmaster  General  to  the  contractor  or  carrier  of 
any  mail,  on  any  route,  over  or  beyond  the  amount  stipulated  in  the 
contract  entered  into  for  the  transportation  of  the  mail  on  such  route, 
unless  additional  service  shall  be  required ;  and  then  no  additional 
compensation  shall  be  allowed  to  exceed  the  exact  proportion  of  the 
original  amount  to  the  additional  duties  required. 


Consolidated  bids  jfrohibitcd,  and  inn-case  of  comjicnsation  restricted. 

Sec.  23,  act  of  July  3,  1836.  No  consolidated  or  combination  bid 
shall  be  received,  and  no  additional  compensation  shall  be  made  to 
any  mail  contractor,  so  as  that  the  compensation  far  additional  reirnlar 
service  shall  exceed  the  exact  proportion  which  the  original  compen- 
sation bears  to  the  original  services  stipulated  to  be  performed ;  and 
no  extra  allowance  shall  be  made  to  any  contractor  by  the  Postmas- 
ter General  for  an  increase  of  expedition  in  the  transportation  of 
the  mail,  unless  thereby  the  employment  of  additional  stock  or  car- 
riers l)y  the  contractor  shall  be  rendered  necessary ;  and  in  such  case 
the  additional  compensation  shall  never  bear  a  greater  proportion  to 
the  additional  stock  or  carriers  rendered  necessary  than  the  sum 
stipulated  in  the  original  contract  bears  to  the  stock  and  carriers 
necessarily  employed  in  its  execution. 

By  the  same  section  of  the  same  law  no  change  can  be  made  in 
the  "terms  of  an  existing  contract" — that  is,  the  schedule  time  for 
performing  a  trip  cannot  be  increased,  nor  can  horse  service  be  im- 
prQved  into  stage  service,  two-horse  stage  into  four-horse,  &c.,  &c. 
Changes  of  these  kinds  can  only  be  effected  by  re-advertising  for  a 
new  letting,  and  making  a  new  contract  superseding  the  existing 
contract  and  service. 


Schedules  to  be  furnislied  and  posted  up  in  post  ojjices. — Registers  to  be 
returned,  and  reports  made. 

Sec.  31,  act  of  July  2,  1836.  That  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
Postmaster  General  to  furnish  to  the  postmasters  at  the  termination 
of  each  route  a  schedule,  specifying  the  times  of  arrival  and  depar- 
ture at  their  offices,  respectively,  of  each  mail,  a  copy  of  which  the 
postmaster  shall  post  up  in  some  conspicuous  place  in  his  office;  and 
the  Postmaster  General  shall  also  furnish  a  notice  in  like  manner, of 
any  change  or  alteration  in  the  arrivals  and  departures  which  may 


8  EXTRACTS    FROM    LAWS. 

be  ordered  b}'^  him.  And  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  every  postiiiaster 
promptly  to  report  to  the  department  every  delinquency,  neglect,  or 
malpractice  of  the  contractors,  their  agents,  or  carriers,  that  may 
come  to  his  knowledge.  And  the  Postmaster  General  shall  cause  to 
be  kept,  and  returned  to  the  department  at  short  and  regular  inter- 
vals, by  postmasters  at  the  ends  of  routes,  and  such  others  as  he  may 
think  proper,  registers  showing  the  exact  times  of  the  arrivals  and 
departures  of  the  mails. 


By  act  of  Congress,  approved  April  21,  1808,  no  member  of  Con- 
gress can  be  a  contractor,  or  be  concerned,  directly  or  indirectly,  in 
any  contract  with  the  government ;  and  by  the  same  act  it  is  made 
a  high  misdemeanor  for  any  officer  of  the  United  [Confederate]  States 
to  enter,  in  its  behalf,  into  a  contract  with  a  member  of  Congress. 

The  7th  section  of  the  law  of  March  3,  1825,  enacts  that  no 
other  than  a  free  white  male  person  shall  be  employed  in  carrying 
the  mail ;  and,  by  regulation  of  the  department,  no  carrier  should 
be  employed  who  is  under  sixteen  years  of  age. 


The  authority  to  establish  post  routes  is  not  vested  in  the  Post- 
master General,  nor  can  he  extend  or  lengtlien  those  already  estab- 
lished. He  can  only  place  mail  service  on  such  roads  as  have  been 
declared  post  routes  by  act  of  Congress.  All  rail  roads,  plank  roads, 
canals,  navigable  rivers,  and  other  waters,  are,  however,  post  roads 
by  law ;  and  also  the  road  from  the  nearest  post  office  on  an  estab- 
lished route  to  the  court-house  of  any  county  which  may  be  other- 
wise without  a  mail. 


The  Postmaster  General  has  no  power  under  the  law  to  release  bid- 
ders and  contractors  and  their  guarantors  and  sureties  from  their 
liabilities  on  the  allegation  of  real  or  supposed  mistakes  of  any  kind 
in  making  proposals.  He  particularly  requests  that,  before  bidding, 
the  fullest  inquiry  and  investigation  be  made  in  regard  to  the  route, 
distance,  service,  weight  of  mails,  cost  of  stock,  feed,  and  all  ex- 
penses existing  and  likely  to  occur  during  the  contract  term,  and 
with  due  consideration  of  the  consequences  imposed  by  law  on  de- 
linquents. 


EXTRACTS    FROM    LAWS.  9 

The  Auditor  of  the  Treasury  for  the  Post  Office  Department  has 
found  so  much  inconvenience,  risk,  and  expense  to  result  from  the 
practice  of  contractors  in  making  drafts  on  their  pay  in  advance  of 
the  quarterly  settlements,  that  he  has  been  compelled  to  adopt  the 
following  regulation,  to  which  he  will  rigidly  adhere,  and  of  which 
contractors  and  all  concerned  will  take  notice: 

"  But  one  draft  for  the  pay  on  each  route  per  quarter  will  be  paid 
or  filed  for  payment  in  this  office.  This  draft  should  state  on  its  face 
that  it  is  the  only  one  for  the  gnartej-  and  the  route  (both  to  be  specified) 
on  which  it  is  drawn ;  and  the  signature  thereto  shonld  be  attested  by  the 
postmaster  at  the  place  where  it  may  be  drawn  and  one  other  witness,  and, 
each  assignment  thereof  should  be  attested  by  two  witnesses^ 

It  will  be  perceived  that  a  draft  so  drawn  can  only  be  received  and 
filed  in  the  office  by  courtesy  of  the  Auditor ;  it  cannot  be  accepted 
as  business  paper  is  usually  accepted,  and  im[)oses  no  obligation,  and 
raises  no  claim  on  the  Confederate  States,  except  to  pay  the  amount 
at  the  proper  time,  or  so  much  as  may  be  due  the  drawer  on  the 
quarter  named,  and  no  other.  But  if  the  whole  amount  due  the 
contractor  be  not  sufficient  to  meet  the  draft,  it  cannot  be  surren- 
dered, but,  though  a  portion  only  be  paid,  it  must  remain  in  the 
office  as  a  "voucher"  for  the  payment,  as  the  law  requires  of  all 
vouchers.

INSTRUCTIONS, 

Containing  Conditions  to  be  incorporated  in  the  Contracts  to 
the  extent  the  Dejyartment  may  deem  proper. 


1.  Seven  minutes  are  allowed  to  each  intermediate  office,  when 
not  otherwise  specified,  for  assorting  the  mails;  but,  on  railroad  and 
steatnboat  routes,  there  is  to  be  no  more  delay  than  is  sufficient  for 
an  exchange  of  the  mail  bags. 

2.  On  railroad  and  steamboat  lines,  and  other  routes  where  the 
mode  of  conveyance  admits  of  it,  the  special  agents  of  the  Post 
Office  Department,  also  post  office  blanks,  mail  bags,  locks  and  keys, 
are  to  be  conveyed  without  extra  charge. 

3.  Steamboat  companies  are  required  to  take  the  mail  from,  and 
deliver  it  into,  the  post  offices  at  the  commencement  and  end  of  their 
routes,  and  to  and  from  all  offices  not  more  than  eighty  rods  from  a 
landing.  Proposals  may  be  submitted  for  the  performance  of  all 
other  side  service — that  is,  tor  offices  over  eighty  rods  from  a  landing. 

Receipts  will  be  required  for  mail  bags  conveyed  in  charge  of 
persons  employed  by  railroad  companies.  There  will  also  be  "way 
bills"  prepared  by  postmasters,  or  other  agents  of  the  department,  to 
accompany  the  mails,  specifying  the  number  and  destination  of  the 
several  l)ags.  On  the  principal  stage  routes,  likewise,  receipts  will 
be  required  and  way  bills  forwarded ;  the  latter  to  be  examined  by 
the  several  postmasters,  to  insure  regularity  in  the  delivery  of  mail 
bags. 

4.  No  pay  will  be  made  for  trips  not  performed ;  and  for  each  of 
such  omissions,  not  satisfactorily  explained,  three  times  the  pay  of  the 
trip  may  be  deducted.  For  arrivals  so  far  behind  time  as  to  break 
connection  with  depending  mails,  and  not  sufficiently  excused,  one- 
fourth  of  the  compensation  for  the  trip  is  subject  to  forfeiture.  De- 
duction will  also  be  ordered  for  a  grade  of  performance  inferior  to 
that  specified  in  the  contract.  Yqx  repeated  delinquencies  of  the  kind 
herein  specified,  enlarged  penalties,  proportioned  to  the  nature  thereof 
and  the  importance  of  the  mail,  may  be  made. 

5.  For  leaving  behind  or  throwing  off  the  mails,  or  any  portion  of 
them,  for  the  admission  of  passengers,  or  for  being  concerned  in  set- 
ting up  or  running  an  express,  conveying  intelHgence  in  advance  of 
the  mail,  a  quarter's  pay  may  be  deducted. 

6.  Fines  will  be  imposed,  unless  the  delinquency  be  promptly  and 
satisfactorily  explained  by  certificates  of  postmasters  or  the  affidavits 
of  other  credible  persons,  for  failing  to  arrive  in  contract  time ;  for 


58  INSTRUCTIONS. 

neglecting  to  take  the  mail  from,  or  deliver  it  into,  a  post  office;  for 
suffering  it  to  be  wet,  injured,  <lestroyed,  robbed,  or  lost;  and  for 
refusing,  after  demand,  to  convey  the  mail  as  frequently  as  the  con- 
tractor runs,  or  is  concerned  in  running  a  coach,  car,  or  steamboat  on 
a  route. 

7.  The  postmaster  general  may  annul  the  contract  for  repeated 
failures  to  run  agreeably  to  contract;  for  violating  the  post  office 
laws,  or  disobeying  the  instructions  of  the  department;  for  refusing 
to  discharge  a  carrier  when  required  by  the  department  to  do  so;  for 
running  an  express  as  aforesaid ;  or  for  transpoi'ting  persons  or  pack- 
ages conveying  mailable  matter  out  of  the  mail. 

8.  The  postmaster  general  may  order  an  increase  of  service  on  a 
route  by  allowing  therefor  a  pro  rata  increase  on  the  contract  pay. 
He  may  change  schedules  of  departures  and  arrivals  in  all  cases,  and 
particularly  to  make  them  conform  to  connections  with  railroads, 
without  increase  of  pay,  provided  the  running  time  be  not  abridged. 
He  may  also  oider  an  increase  of  speed,  allowing,  within  the  restric- 
tions of  the  law,  a*  pro  rata  increase  of  pay  for  the  additional  stock 
or  carriers,  if  any.  The  contractor  may,  however,  in  the  case  of 
increase  of  speed,  relinquish  the  contract,  by  giving  prompt  notice 
to  the  department  that  he  prefers  doing  so  to  carrying  the  order  into 
effect.  The  postmaster  general  may  also  curtail  or  discontinue  the 
service,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  jiro  rata,  decrease  of  pay,  allowing 
one  montli's  extra  compensation  on  the  amount  dispensed  with, 
whenever,  in  his  opinion,  the  pubhc  interests  require  the  change,  or 
in  case  he  desires  to  sitpersede  it  by  a  different  grade  of  transportation. 

9.  Payments  will  be  made  by  collections  from,  or  drafts  on,  post- 
masters, or  otherwise,  after  the  expiration  of  each  quarter — say  in 
February,  May,  August  and  November. 

1 0.  The  distances  are  given  according  to  the  best  information ;  but 
no  increased  pay  will  be  allowed  should  they  be  greater  than  adver- 
tised, if  the  points  to  be  supplied  be  correctly  stated.  Bidders  must 
inform  themselves  on  this  point,  and  also  in  reference  to  the  weight  of 
the  mail,  the  condition  of  roads,  hills,  streams,  &c.,  and  all  tollbridges, 
ferries,  or  obstructions  of  any  kind  by  which  expense  may  be  incurred. 
No  claim  for  additional  pay,  based  on  such  'ground,  can  be  considered; 
nor  for  alleged  mistakes  or  misapprehension  as  to  the  degree  of  ser- 
vice; nor  for  bridges  destroyed,  femes  discontinued,  or  other  obstruc- 
tions increasing  distance,  occurring  during  the  contract  term.  Offices 
established  after  this  advertisement  is  issued,  and  also  during  the 
contract  term,  are  to  be  visited  without  extra  pay,  if  the  distance  be 
not  increased. 

11.  A  bid  received  after  the  last  day  and  hour  named,  or  without 
the  guaranty  required  by  law  and  a  certificate  as  to  the  sufficiency 
of  such  guaranty,  cannot  be  considered  in  competition  with  a  regular 
proposal  reasonable  in  amount. 

12.  Bidders  should  first  propose  for  service  strictly  according  to 
the  advertisement,  and  then,  if  they  desire,  separately  for  difierent 
service;  and  if  the  regular  bid  be  the  lowest  offered  for  the  advertised 
service,  the  other  propositions  may  be  considered. 


INSTRUCTIONS.  59 

13.  There  should  be  but  one  route  bid  for  in  a  proposal.  Consoli- 
dated or  combination  bids  ("  proposing  one  sum  for  two  or  more 
routes")  are  forbidden  by  law,  and  cannot  be  considered. 

14.  The  route,  the  service,  the  yearly  pay,  the  name  and  residence 
of  the  bidder  (that  is,  his  usual  post  office  address),  and  those  of 
each  member  of  a  firm,  where  a  company  offers,  should  be  distinctly 
stated. 

15.  Bidders  are  requested  to  use,  as  far  as  practicable,  the  printed 
form  of  proposal  furnished  by  the  department,  to  write  out  in  full 
the  sum  of  their  bids,  and  to  retain  copies  of  them. 

AltersMl  bids  should  not  be  submitted  ;  nor  should  bids  once  sub- 
mitted br  wiLluirawn.  No  witlidrawal  of  a  bidder  or  guarantor  will 
be  allowed  unless  dated  and  received  before  the  last  day  for  receiving 
proposals. 

Each  bid  must  be  guarantied  by  two  responsible  persons. 

General  guaranties  cannot  be  admitted.  The  bid  and  guaranty 
should  be  siirncd  plainly  with  tlie  full  name  of  each  person. 

Th(;  de[>artm<!nt  reserv(!s  the  right  to  reject  any  bid  which  may  be 
deemed  extravagant,  and  also  to  disregard  the  bids  of  failing  contrac- 
tors and  bidders. 

1(5.  The  bid  should  be  sealed,  superscribed  "Mail  Proposals,  State 

of  ,"  addressed  "  Chief  of  the;  Contract  Ikireau,  Richmond, 

Virginia,"  and  sent  by  nnill,  not  by  or  to  an  agent;  and  postmasters 
will  not  enclose  proposals  (or  letters  of  any  kind)  in  their  quarterly 
returns. 

17.  The  contra<'ts  are  to  be  executed  and  retin-nod  to  the  depart- 
ment by  or  before  the  Ist  daij  of  August  1SG3 ;  but  the  service  nmst 
be  commenced  on  the  1st  July  preceding,  or  on  the  mail  day  next 
after  that  date,  whether  the  contracts  be  executed  or  not.  No  pro- 
position to  transfer  will  be  considered  until  the  contracts  are  executed 
and  received  at  the  department;  and  then  no  transfer  will  be  allowed 
unless  good  and  sufficient  reasons  therefor  are  given,  to  be  determined 
by  the  department.  In  all  cases  the  retiring  contractor  will  be  re- 
quired to  become  one  of  the  sureties  on  the  new  contract. 

1 S.  Railroad  routes  are  not  adv<?rtised,  and  postmasters  at  offices 
on  or  near  railroads,  but  more  than  eighty  rods  from  a  station,  will, 
imme'diately  after  the  ;iOth  of  March  next,  report  their  exact  distance 
from  the  nearest  station,  and  how  they  are  otherwise  supplied  with 
the  mail,  to  enable  the  postmaster  general  to  direct  a  mail-messenger 
supply  from  the  1st  of  July  next. 

if).    Section  eigiiteen  of  an   act  of  congress  approved  March  3, 
1845,  and  the  2(1  section  of  an  act  approved  15th  March  ISGl,  pro- 
vide that  contracts  for  the  transportation  of  the  mail  shall  be  let  "in 
every  case  to  the  lowest  bidder  tendering  suthcient  guaranties  for 
faithful  performance,  without  other  reference  to  the  mode  of  s»" 
transportation  than  may  b(!  necessary  to  provide  for  the  due  ce^ 
certainty,  and  security  of  such  transportation."      Under  thcs 
bids  that  propose  to  trnnsport  the  mad  with  '■'■celerity,  ccrtaivty  ari

conveyance  necessary  to  insure  its  '^celerity,  certainty,  and  security, ^^  and 
will  have  the  ■preference  over  oil  others. 

20.  A  modification  of  a  bid  in  any  of  its  essential  terms  is  tanta- 
mount to  a  new  bid,  and  cannot  be  received,  so  as  to  interfere  with 
a  regular  competition,  after  the  last  hour,  set  for  receiving  bids. 
Making  a  new  bid,  with  guaranty  and  certificate,  is  the  only  way  to 
modify  a  previous  bid. 

21.  Postmastci'S  are  to  be  careful  not  to  certify  the  suflicienc}''  of 
guarantors  or  sureties  without  knowing  tliat  they  are  persons  of  suffi- 
cient responsibility;  and  all  bidders,  guarantors  and  sureties  are  dis- 
tinctly notified  that  on  a  failure  to  enter  into  or  perform  the  contracts 
for  the  service  proposed  for  in  the  accepted  bids,  the  legal  liabilities 
will  be  enforced  against  them. 

22.  Present  contractors,  and  persons  known  at  the  department, 
must,  equally  vi'ith  others,  procure  guarantors  and  certificates  of  their 
sufficiency  substantially  in  the  forms  above  prescribed.  The  certifi- 
cates of  sufficiency  must  be  signed  by  a  postmaster  or  by  a  judge  of 
a  court  of  record.     No  other  certificate  will  be  admitted.
